The issue rtems-test faces is the relationship between a specific instance of hardware and the management of the TFTP and console telnet session. This is where there is a conflict, ie the same type of board with the same u-boot set up all boot at once and request the same image. You need a way to manage the relationships. I manage this with the tftp proxy tool I placed in rtems-tools. >> 3. Serial console connections using ser2net.

I should change the relays in it. Mine make a click noise. The boards, RPi ser2net box, switch and power control are all in a cupboard.
